Fox Family Time #6 comes to you this week from Malt Kiln Farm near Coventry. We popped over to Malt Kiln Farm and their temporary shop to have a look at some pumpkins. However, we ended up picking some strawberries as that’s what Alfie wanted to do! Kids hey?! Unfortunately, back in June, Malt Kiln…

Stop Saying No! Alfie has a new favourite word. “No!” It was driving me a little bit mad that he would say it at any given opportunity. “Do you want some food? No.” or “Do you want to play? No.”. Sometimes it was “Let’s get dressed. No.” You get the gist. It started to become…

Gender stereotyping? Why do we stereotype dolls and pushchairs to be girls toys? Why do we stereotype the cars, trains and trucks to be boys toys? Alfie loves, what some would call, his “boys toys”. He loves cars, trains, trucks, Toot Toot toys, the lot. But he also loves a doll and a pushchair. Alfie Wants…

I like nothing more than putting my PJs on, a comfy bed and some chocolate. Now if you give me that opportunity and a baby free night then I’m really in my element. So when we had the chance to go to the local Best Western Hotel, we jumped at the chance. We had some…

Fox Family Time #5 comes to you from the great British seaside town of Blackpool! Why I Love Blackpool As I grew up in Manchester one of our local seaside towns was Blackpool and we loved days out there. A few years back my Grandparents decided to sell up and move to an apartment, on…

Another Mr and Mrs post filling you in on all the little bits and pieces that made our wedding day perfect! We were very lucky whilst wedding planning that we have such talented, helpful and generous friends! Save the dates, invitations and orders of service, were hand made. Included in this was the name cards…

Alfie’s birthday and Christmas are fast approaching. I’ve been asked numerous times about what we presents buying him. Or what presents can he be bought for the occasions? Alfie will be two on 21st November and then Christmas is 25th December. (Just in case you’ve forgotten!) Therefore really isn’t much time between them. Alfie’s first…

Dobbies Garden Centre had their Christmas Preview Charity Nights in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust across the country this week. Tickets were £1 and proceeds from tickets went to the charity. Teenage Cancer Trust create world class cancer services for young people in the UK, providing life-changing care and support so young people don’t have…

Fox Family Time #4 comes to you from the National Trust property and grounds Charlecote Park just outside of Stratford-upon-Avon. We’d had a fairly normal weekend at home doing jobs, and praying that Dan’s car would pass it’s MOT. It did thankfully! We decided that we wanted to get out of the house for some…
